An enchanting, dangerous journey.

Dust: An Elysian Tail, a beautifully animated side-scrolling platformer with dynamic fights and RPG elements, is available 50% off on GOG.com. That's only $7.49 for the first week!

As the mysterious warrior, Dust, your action-packed journey will take you from peaceful glades to snowy mountaintops and beyond. At your disposal is the mythical sword, capable of turning its wielder into an unstoppable force of nature, and the blade's diminutive guardian, always ready to give you advice--wanted or not. Battle dozens of enemies at once with an easy-to-learn, difficult-to-master combat system, take on a variety of quests from friendly villagers, discover ancient secrets and powerful upgrades hidden throughout the massive, open world, and uncover the story of an ancient civilization on the brink of extinction as you fight to uncover your own past.

Run, jump, hack, and slash in Dust: An Elysian Tail, a dynamic action-platformer with RPG elements, beautiful landscapes, tons of original enemies, full XInput controller support, great animation, and a cast of sympathetic characters. As Dust, the furry protagonist of the story, you will wield the talking sword known as the Blade of Ahrah and take on many strange creatures of darkness that have been menacing your world. With the help of magic-wielding Fidget, the sprite guardian of the sword, and an occasional piece of advice from the snarky blade itself, you will follow your destiny and make your way through a vast, fantastic, colorful world that won't soon forget, even after Dust's story is over.

With traditional animation techniques and full 1080p resolution, this might be one of the most enchanting games ever to grace your screen. Let the adventure begin, get Dust: An Elysian Tail, for only $7.49 on GOG.com. The 50% off release discount offer lasts until Thursday, November 14, at 10:59AM GMT.

gandalf.nho: Looks very nice, someone already played? It's much difficult?
I played it and I found the difficulty just right and I do believe you can change the difficulty to your liking :)

Crosmando: heh, thought for a second this meant Microsoft was on GOG
I think out of all gaming publishers Microsoft would be the last to drop DRM requirements. Even titles that license IP from them they require DRM to be used by the developers as part of the deals.

I suspect their publishing agreement with Humble Hearts was limited to Steam and Xbox 360, and that Humble Hearts (perhaps wisely) reserved publishing rights for other channels.
And there go another $7,49...

But what I read about this one, makes it worth it. And it's looking cute, ...which always helps, if you're after my money.

;o)
I'm simply mesmerized by the art style. Stunning.

I really hope something like this is also the case for other Microsoft published titles like State of Decay.
YAY DUST!

Already got the title, but if you're on the fence give it a try; its a charming sidescrolling adventure with some great characters and art that really works. Myself I put it next to Bastion for being one of those games that's just a great joy to play through from start to finish.

More experienced gamers might find that its not as challenging as some other titles, but the play experience is solid and fun and I've yet to speak to anyone who didn't enjoy playing through the game.

Great fun - great title and great to see it here on GOG! (now we can all hope for a Dust 2!)
Nice release, but I'll wait for a higher sale.
This one is really nice. I'll think about whether or not to buy it again.

I would say you are right there. I noticed the game card has no mention of Microsoft as the publisher.
Never heard of it, but it looks amazing. Reminds me of both Sly Cooper and Kung Fu Panda.
Hook, line, and sinker.

You got me again.

This looks awesome, a must-buy for me >_<

nijuu: Not quite sure what to make of this one. People seem to like it. Why?
People like it because it's a genuinely good game. While it originated on XBLA the port is phenomenal and more than "playable" with keyboard alone.
Nice surprise! I didn't expect this one to turn up here.
Bought this and Valdis. I will be busy for a while!
